Self-employed professionals to face double contributions in 2018

Some 200,000 self-employed professionals will next year be forced to pay double social security contributions to the auxiliary fund for retirement lump sums.

They will pay double contributions next year, as on top of the 2018 dues, they will have to cover the 2017 payments in 11 or 12 installments, as the December notices are expected to show.

World's most expensive dram of Scotch was a fake

A dram of vintage Scotch bought by a Chinese millionaire in a Swiss hotel bar for £7,600 was a fake, laboratory tests have concluded.

Analysts from Scotland were called in by the Waldhaus Am See hotel in St Moritz after experts questioned the authenticity of the 2cl shot.

It had been poured from an unopened bottle labelled as an 1878 Macallan single malt.

It is believed to be the largest sum ever paid for a poured dram of Scotch.

But analysis found that it was almost certainly not distilled before 1970.

Had the bottle been genuine, it would have carried a bar-value of about 300,000 Swiss francs (£227,000).
